RE: SLOW TIMES

yea michigan roads are bad, we only do driveways and small concrete and asphalt jobs. in the winter the citys will not issue a driveway permit, so we sit. i like eagle and the pay is good from what i read. i have learned that once i deliver the load i shoot back to the office asap that way i get what ever comes up, thay do the best thay can to get return runs but it does not allways work out. and if i am their and the driver thay call does not answer the phone i get the run. thew only time i ever see another driver is friday but i only live 4 miles from the office...... this might seem extreem but at the end of every day my van gets washed its only 3 bucks at the local drive thru, i have done this with my dump trucks from the first day...(weather permitting) that way the van is allways clean...

Sorry it took so long to get back on this question. EGL call an expedited run a Hot Shot. I know nothing about that industry (Hot Shot )

RE: SLOW TIMES

I find I get more respect from S & R's when my vans clean. If its dirty inside and out they think its a company truck and just bang the load in....grrrr.
